georay
agreat little camera the sharpest one i have tried on my hd screen computer and hd tv; it is the closest to my nikon d300 as for as sharpness, but———— i was outside in the sun taking bird pic AND THE ZOOM LOCKED UP i had to put camera in the shade turning off an on several times before the lense would retract. THANKS AMAZON FOR YOUR 30 DAY MBG

Promising but…did meet expectations
I`ve been in search for a advanced pre-SLR camera for several days after my old Kodak 6490 was lost. I once owned Nikon D70… so i`m familiar with what a good camera should feel like.

This camera has a solid construction but the image quality indoors is average. That`s what i check cameras for in the first place. Most of them are capable of producing decent images in a bright light, but the anti-shake sistem is something you greatly rely on when taking pictures indoors.

When i use a camera in a dim light not only do i make sure that anti-shake sistem is on, i also hold a breath and take a burst of shots as to increase a chance to get a good quality shot. Besides i set ISO settings to 400 MAX, so i don`t get much grain… All of the pictures are lifeless and blurry. I`m greatly disappointed and the camera went back to store. I`m buying a Panasonic xz8 tomorrow.

Nikon P-80
I am not happy with this camera. Get a lot of blurry pictures. I am going to return it and opt for a higher level camera.

Great Value for Price - More than Just a Point N Shot
I have this product for two weeks and gave it a full workout over the Memorial Day Holiday. I am very pleased with the image quality and features. I shot with all modes and felt that it delivered what it promised for this price range. My ony recommendation is that the flash should pop up automatically when it is needed and the lens cover should be built in much like when the Panasonic went from the TZ1 to the TZ3 which I also own. I would also have liked a hot shoe for flash and the ability to protect lens with a UV filter. Minor stuff for this type of camera which gives you more creative control without the big price tag.

Of course if you want to step up to the pro-amateur DSLR type cameras and spend hundreds dollars or more than you should expect all of the above.

Disappointed
I was so excited when I heard about an 18x zoom lens in a compact camera that I ordered it a month before it became available. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed with the performance. While the zoom lens was truly great to have, the time lag between turning the camera on and being able to take a shot was way too long. To make matters worse, the time lag between pressing the shutter and it actually taking a picture was also too long. I wanted the camera to take pictures of my grandkids, but with those time lags all I would get is empty space.

So I returned it and bought a Nikon D60 with two zoom lenses, which is fast in all respects.
